1 Učinićeš im ovo kad ih staneš osveštavati da mi vrše službu svešteničku: uzmi tele i dva ovna zdrava,

2 I hlebove presne i kolače presne zamešene s uljem, i pogače presne namazane uljem, od brašna pšeničnog umesi ih.

3 I metni ih u jednu kotaricu, i prinesi ih u kotarici s teletom i s dva ovna.

4 I dovedi Arona i sinove njegove pred vrata šatora od sastanka, i umij ih vodom.

5 I uzevši haljine obuci Aronu košulju i plašt ispod oplećka i oplećak i naprsnik, i opaši ga pojasom od oplećka.

6 I metni mu kapu na glavu i svetu ploču na kapu.

7 I uzmi ulje za pomazanje, i izlij mu na glavu, i pomazaćeš ga.

8 I sinove njegove dovedi i obuci im košulje;

9 I opaši ih pojasima, Arona i sinove njegove, i metni im kape na glave, da imaju sveštenstvo uredbom večnom. Tako ćeš posvetiti ruke Aronu i sinovima njegovim.

10 I dovedi tele pred šator od sastanka, a Aron i sinovi njegovi neka metnu ruke teletu na glavu.

11 I zakolji tele pred Gospodom na vratima šatora od sastanka.

12 I uzevši krvi od teleta pomaži rogove oltaru prstom svojim, a ostalu krv svu prolij na podnožje oltaru.

13 I uzmi sve salo po crevima, i mrežicu na jetri, i oba bubrega i salo oko njih, i zapali na oltaru.

14 A meso od teleta i kožu i balegu spali ognjem izvan logora; to je žrtva za greh.

15 Potom uzmi ovna jednog, i na glavu ovnu neka metnu ruke svoje Aron i sinovi njegovi.

16 I zakolji ovna i uzmi krvi od njega i pokropi oltar unaokolo.

17 A ovna izudi, i operi drob i noge, i metni ih na udove njegove i na glavu.

18 I svega ovna zapali na oltaru; to je žrtva paljenica Gospodu, miris ugodan, žrtva ognjena Gospodu.

19 Pa uzmi i drugog ovna, i neka mu metne Aron i sinovi njegovi ruke svoje na glavu.

20 I zakolji tog ovna, i uzmi krvi od njega i pomaži njom kraj od desnog uha Aronu i kraj od desnog uha sinovima njegovim, i palac u desne ruke njihove i palac u desne noge njihove, a ostalom krvlju pokropi oltar unaokolo.

21 I uzmi krvi koja bude na oltaru i ulja za pomazanje, i pokropi Arona i haljine njegove, i sinove njegove i haljine njihove, i biće svet on i haljine njegove i sinovi njegovi i haljine njihove.

22 Potom uzmi salo od ovna i rep i salo što je po crevima i mrežicu na jetri i oba bubrega i salo oko njih, i desno pleće; jer je ovan posvetni;

23 I jedan hleb i jedan kolač s uljem i jednu pogaču iz kotarice u kojoj budu presni hlebovi pred Gospodom.

24 I to sve metni u ruke Aronu i u ruke sinovima njegovim, i obrći tamo i amo, da bude žrtva obrtana pred Gospodom.

25 Po tom uzmi im to iz ruku, i zapali na oltaru svrh žrtve paljenice, da bude miris ugodan pred Gospodom; to je žrtva ognjena Gospodu.

26 I uzmi grudi od ovna posvetnog, koji bude za Arona, i obrtaćeš ih tamo i amo, da bude žrtva obrtana pred Gospodom; i to će biti tvoj deo.

27 Tako ćeš osvetiti grudi od žrtve obrtane i pleće od žrtve podizane, šta je obrtano i šta je podizano od ovna posvetnog za Arona i za sinove njegove.

28 I to će biti Aronu i sinovima njegovim uredbom večnom od sinova Izrailjevih, jer je žrtva podizana. Kad je žrtva podizana sinova Izrailjevih od njihovih žrtava zahvalnih, žrtva podizana biće Gospodu.

29 A svete haljine Aronove neka budu sinovima njegovim nakon njega da se pomazuju u njima i da im se u njima posvećuju ruke.

30 Sedam dana neka ih oblači koji na njegovo mesto bude sveštenik između sinova njegovih, koji će ulaziti u šator od sastanka da služi u svetinji.

31 A ovna posvetnog uzmi i skuvaj meso od njega na mestu svetom.

32 I Aron i sinovi njegovi neka na vratima šatora od sastanka jedu meso od tog ovna i hleb što je u kotarici.

33 Neka ga jedu oni za koje je bilo očišćenje da bi im se posvetile ruke da bi bili posvećeni; a drugi da ne jede, jer je stvar sveta.

34 Ako li bi ostalo šta mesa posvetnog ili hleba do jutra, onda što ostane sažeži ognjem, a da se ne jede, jer je stvar sveta.

35 I tako učini Aronu i sinovima njegovim po svemu što ti zapovedih; sedam dana svetićeš im ruke.

36 I svaki ćeš dan prinositi na žrtvu tele za greh radi očišćenja; i očistićeš oltar čineći očišćenje na njemu, i pomazaćeš ga da se osveti.

37 Sedam dana činićeš očišćenje na oltaru i osvetićeš ga, te će oltar biti svetinja nad svetinjama; šta se god dotakne oltara, biće sveto.

38 I ovo ćeš prinositi na oltaru: dva jagnjeta od godine svaki dan bez prekida.

39 Jedno jagnje prinosi jutrom a drugo prinosi večerom,

40 I još desetinu efe pšeničnog brašna smešana s uljem ceđenim, kog da bude četvrt ina, i naliv vina, četvrt ina na jedno jagnje.

41 A drugo jagnje prinesi uveče; kao sa žrtvom jutarnjom i s nalivom njenim tako i s ovom čini da bude miris ugodan, žrtva ognjena Gospodu.

42 To neka bude žrtva paljenica svagda od kolena do kolena vašeg na vratima šatora od sastanka pred Gospodom, gde ću se sastajati s vama da govorim s tobom.

43 I onde ću se sastajati sa sinovima Izrailjevim, da se osvećuje slavom mojom.

44 I osvetiću šator od sastanka i oltar; i Arona i sinove njegove osvetiću da su mi sveštenici.

45 I nastavaću među sinovima Izrailjevim, i biću im Bog.

46 I poznaće da sam ja Gospod Bog njihov, koji sam ih izveo iz zemlje misirske da nastavam među njima, ja Gospod Bog njihov.

3994. 'And every black one among the lambs' means a proprium of innocence, which belongs to the good meant by 'Laban'. This is clear from the meaning of 'black' as the proprium, dealt with immediately above in 3993, and from the meaning of 'a lamb' as innocence, dealt with below. With regard to a proprium of innocence meant by 'black one among the lambs' the position is that, to be good, all good must contain innocence. Charity devoid of innocence is not charity, and still less can love to the Lord exist without it. Innocence is therefore an absolutely essential element of love and charity, and consequently of good. A proprium of innocence consists in knowing, acknowledging, and believing, not with the lips but with the heart, that nothing but evil originates in oneself, and everything good in the Lord, and therefore that such a proprium is altogether black, that is to say, both the will side of the proprium, which is evil, and the understanding side, which is falsity. When a person confesses and believes that in his heart, the Lord flows in with good and truth and instills a heavenly proprium into him which is bright and shining. Nobody can possibly be truly humble unless that acknowledgement and belief are present in his heart; and when they are present he is self-effacing, indeed self-loathing, and so is not preoccupied with himself, in which case he is in a fit state to receive the Lord's Divine. These are the circumstances in which the Lord flows in with good into a humble and contrite heart.

[2] Such is the proprium of innocence meant here by 'the black one among the lambs' which Jacob chose for himself, whereas 'the white one among the iambs' means the merit that is placed in good deeds - 'white' meaning merit, as stated above in 3993. Jacob did not choose this because it goes against innocence. Indeed anyone who places merit in good deeds acknowledges and believes that all good originates in himself, for he regards himself, not the Lord, in the good deeds he does and as a consequence seeks reward on the basis of that merit. For the same reason he also despises others in comparison with himself, indeed he even condemns them, and therefore to the same extent departs from heavenly order, that is, from good and truth. From all this it may be seen that charity towards the neighbour and love to the Lord are by no means able to exist unless they have innocence within them, and consequently that no one can enter heaven unless he possesses some degree of innocence, according to the Lord's words,

Truly I say to you, Whoever has not received the kingdom of God like a young child will not enter into it. Mark 10:15; Luke 18:17.

Here and elsewhere in the Word 'a young child' means innocence - see what has been stated already on these matters in the following paragraphs,

Early childhood is not innocence, but innocence resides in wisdom, 2305, 3494.

The nature of the innocence of early childhood, and the nature of the innocence of wisdom, 2306, 3183; also the nature of the proprium when, with innocence and charity, the Lord gives it life, 154.

Innocence causes good to be good, 2526, 2780.

[3] The fact that innocence is meant by 'lambs' may be seen from many places in the Word, of which let the following be quoted to confirm the point,

The wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the kid, and the calf and the young lion and the ox together; and a little child will lead them. Isaiah 11:6.

This refers to the Lord's kingdom and to the state of peace and of innocence there. 'The wolf' stands for those who are opposed to innocence, 'the lamb' for those in whom innocence is present. A similar example occurs elsewhere in the same prophet,

The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and for the serpent, dust will be his bread. They will not hurt and will not destroy on all My holy mountain. Isaiah 65:25.

As above, 'the wolf' stands for those who are opposed to innocence, and 'the lamb' for those in whom innocence is present. Because 'the wolf' and 'the lamb' are opposites, the Lord also said to the seventy whom He sent out, in Luke,

Behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Luke 10:3.

In Moses,

He causes him to suck honey out of the crag, and oil out of the stony rock - butter from the cattle, and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs and rams, the breed 1 of Bashan. Deuteronomy 32:13-14.

This refers in the internal sense to the celestial qualities of the Ancient Church. 'The fat of lambs' stands for the charity that goes with innocence.

[4] In the original language various nouns exist for lambs, and each is used to mean a different degree of innocence, for as has been stated, all good, if it is to be good, must have innocence within it. And so also must truth. Here in Genesis 30:32 the word used for lambs is also used for sheep, as in Leviticus 1:10; 3:7; 5:6; 17:3; 22:19; Numbers 18:17; and by that word is meant the innocence belonging to faith grounded in charity. Different words are used elsewhere, as in Isaiah,

Send the lamb of the ruler of the land from the rock towards the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion. Isaiah 16:1.

A different word again is used in the same prophet,

The Lord Jehovih is coming with strength, and His arm will exercise dominion for Him. He will pasture His flock like a shepherd, He will gather the lambs into His arm, He will carry them in His bosom, and will lead those that give suck. Isaiah 40:9-11.

'Gathering the lambs into the arm and carrying in the bosom' stands for people who are governed by charity that has innocence within it.

[5] In John,

When He appeared [to the disciples] Jesus said to Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these? He said to Him, Yes, Lord; You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My lambs. He said to him again, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me? He said to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He said to him, Feed My sheep. John 21:15-16.

Here as elsewhere 'Peter' means faith - see the Prefaces to Chapters 18 and 22, and 3750. And since faith is not faith if it does not arise out of charity towards the neighbour, and so out of love to the Lord, neither are charity and love charity and love if they do not arise out of innocence. This is why the Lord first asks whether he loves Him, that is, whether love is present within faith, and after that says, 'Feed My lambs', that is, feed those who are innocent. Then after putting the same question again, He says, 'Feed My sheep', that is, feed those who have charity.

[6] Because the Lord is the Innocence itself which exists in His kingdom, for He is the source of all innocence, the Lord is therefore called the Lamb, as in John,

The next day John Baptist saw Jesus coming towards him, and said, Behold, the Lamb of God who bears away the sin of the world. John 1:29, 36.

And in Revelation,

They will fight with the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings, and those with Him have been called and chosen. Revelation 17:14.

There are other places in Revelation besides this - 5:6; 6:1, 16; 7:9, 14, 17; 12:11; 13:8; 14:1, 4; 19:7, 9; 21:22-23, 27; 22:1, 3. It is well known that in the highest sense the paschal lamb means the Lord - for the Passover meant the Lord's glorification, that is, His enduing the Human with the Divine - and in the representative sense means the regeneration of man. Indeed the paschal lamb means that which is the essential feature of regeneration, namely innocence; for nobody can be regenerated except by means of charity that has innocence within it.

[7] Because innocence is the first essential in the Lord's kingdom and is the celestial itself there, and because sacrifices and burnt offerings used to represent the spiritual and celestial things of the Lord's kingdom, the essential itself of the Lord's kingdom, which is innocence, was therefore represented by 'lambs'. This was why the continual or daily burnt offering was made from lambs, the first in the morning and the second 'between the evenings', Exodus 29:37-39; Numbers 28:3-4; and a double offering on the sabbath, Numbers 28:9-10; and many more lambs still at the appointed festivals, Leviticus 23:12; Numbers 28:11, 14, 19, 27; 28:1-end. After the days of her cleansing had been completed a woman who had given birth was required to offer a lamb as a burnt offering, also a young pigeon or else a turtledove, Leviticus 12:6. This was required in order that the sign of the fruit of conjugial love - a love which is innocence itself, see 2736 - might be represented, and because innocence is meant by 'babes'.
